The hip hop star said, “I was really hoping I wouldn’t have to” announce his need to cancel all live shows, including his Glastonbury set, for the rest of 2025.

“I’m really sorry to announce I’m going to have to cancel all my upcoming show commitments for 2025/the foreseeable future,” he wrote.

“Many of you know I’ve been struggling with mental health issues for some time now and I’ve tried my best to bury things and keep my life and career moving forward.”

Bru-C explained that what he’d been going through “has got gradually worse over the last few years and I need to take another step back to try and get back to kind of stable place in my life.”

He added that it was that “last thing” he wanted to do to let down fans but he needed to take the time to take get his life “back on track.”

“I know a lot of people will have spent hard earned money to come out to the shows I’m booked at, and I really am sorry for the impact of this decision will have on you all,” the rapper continued.

“I hope you understand I have to prioritise my own mental and physical health.”

Bru-C continued: “I want you to know I’m seeking the right help and support, and I take none of this for granted. I just want to be better, when that will be I don’t know.”

He concluded by “sending love to anyone… who’s struggling right now, don’t give up.”

Jeff Stelling raises serious concerns as beloved Hartlepool appoint ex-Premier League ace, 55, who last managed in Nepal

JEFF STELLING has appeared to question Hartlepool United’s appointment of new manager Simon Grayson.

The former Soccer Saturday host, 70, is a lifelong fan of the National League club.

Hartlepool announced the capture of Grayson on Thursday evening.

The 55-year-old has achieved EFL promotions with Preston North End, Huddersfield Town, Leeds United and Blackpool.

Grayson most recently took charge of Lalitpur City in Nepal, with his last job in England a short spell at Fleetwood Town in 2021.

Stelling, responding through his X account, appeared to be underwhelmed with the appointment.

The Sky legend wrote: “He is a lovely man but not managed in England for four years and never at this level.

“All you can do is wish him well and hope that he realises what he is stepping into.”

Hartlepool were relegated to the National League in 2023.

They have failed to challenge for promotion in either of the last two seasons.

Stelling fears a mass exodus of the playing staff over the summer – with no cash in the kitty to replace them.

Responding to another concerned fan, he continued: “Hope you are right but I am not hopeful as I don’t see key players staying.

“I don’t see the money being available for adequate replacements.”

Stelling added in a separate message: “The problems at Hartlepool would test anyone.”

Grayson replaces Australian Anthony Limbrick, who was sacked on Thursday after four months in the role.

Chairman Raj Singh said: “I’m delighted that Simon has accepted the role.”

“Simon is someone who has been on our radar for a while and he’s been my preferred candidate in the past when we’ve looked for managers, but for one reason or the other it didn’t come off.”

Grayson told the club’s official website: “I really happy to join Hartlepool United.

“The club has gone through some tough times recently but by working hard together as a staff and fanbase we can bring back the good times which this football club deserves.

“Hartlepool is a club with real potential and I’m excited by the prospect of what we can achieve here. I can’t wait to get started.”
